"We showed a lot of character today responding the right way. This isn't a tournament that we've
historically medalled in very often,'' Wallin said. "We fell a little bit short of our goal, but at the same
time given the situation, we're certainly happy coming home with something as opposed to nothing.''

Sam Reinhart and Brendan Gaunce had the other goals for Canada, which lost to the U.S. in Friday's
semifinal. Mathew Dumba had three assists for Canada, while Scott Laughton added a pair of his own.

The Americans downed Sweden 7-0 in the gold-medal game later Sunday.

Matt Murray made 29 saves to pick up the win for Canada against the Finns.

Wallin says the Canadian coaching staff tried to lighten the mood after the team fell 2-1 to the U.S. in
Friday's semifinal.

"We really tried to push on the players the importance of the game. We played four games in five nights so
we took (Saturday) off and stayed off the ice and kept it light,'' he said. "We didn't want it to be a mood
where everyone was dragging their tail and feeling sorry for themselves. We tried to keep it upbeat and
stayed away from the rink to have a mental break.''

But Wallin says he asked his players to finish the tournament strong even though the gold medal was out of
reach.

"We challenged them to step up and realize the importance of this game for the team and the program moving
forward and each one of them as individuals,'' he said.

Henrik Haapala scored twice and added two assists for Finland, while Artturi Lehkonen scored and had two
assists.

Rasmus Ristolainen had the other goal for the Finns, who got 33 saves from Joonas Korpisalo.

Shinkaruk and Reinhart scored in the first period as Canada led 1-0 after one.

Haapala and Shinkaruk traded goals in the second before Gaunce made it 4-1 at 10:34 with a short-handed
goal after Canada's Josh Morrissey was handed a five-minute major and game misconduct for kneeing.

Lehkonen scored on that power play to make it 4-2 at 11:23 and Haapala added his second on another man
advantage at 19:15 to cut the Canadian lead to one heading to the third.

"The Finns played really well, came at us and we didn't get any help from the officiating through that
stretch,'' Wallin said. "I thought there were some tough calls against us.''

Ristolainen tied the score at 9:30 of the final period before Shinkaruk scored the winner.

"They got the early goal in the third period but we were able to stick to the details and push our way
through it,'' said Wallin, who added that he challenged Shinkaruk to be better in the bronze-medal game.

"I thought his game (Friday) in the semifinal was just OK and we needed him to be a difference for us.
That's why he was here,''
Wallin said. "He's a game-breaking type of player and today he answered the bell and stepped up.''
